Application mea august 1s, 1919. serial No. 818,236.

` depending shank 13V having the head 14 v To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES A. Bofrnrox, a citizen 'of the United States, residing at Watertowmin the countyof Jefferson and State of Wisconsin, have invented a new and useful Hanger, of which the followlng is a speci'cation.

This invention relates to garmenthangers and more particularly to hangers employed for hanging comparatively light walsts or dresses. 1

The primary objectofthe inventlon 1s to provide a hanger supplied withy means for preventing slipping of a waist or other garment therefrom.

A further object of the invention is to provide a hanger of this character having an anti-slide device secured to the upper curvued surfaces' thereof, for contacting with the garment, thereby preventing the same from slipping.

'With the foregoing and other objects lview which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides1 in the combination and arrangement' of parts and 1n the details of construction heremafter de scribed and claimed, it being understood' that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

Referring to the drawing Figure `1 .illustrates a side elevational view of a hanger constructed in accordance with the present invention, and

Fig. 2 illustrates a sectional view throu h` one end of the hanger, disclosing the re a- A hooked member 12 is provided with a in the presence formed adjacent one end thereof, to prevent the hooked member from being moved from its position in connection with the body of the hanger.

Extending body member and terminating at a point in close proximity with the hooked member, are the' anti-slipping devices 1'5'and 16, each of which includes a comparatively soft mate-- rial provided with transversely extending ribs, or any other plain pile fabric or felt to provide irregular surfaces for engaging the waistxs, supported thereby.

These anti-slipping devices 15 and 16 include side portions which extend 'over the side edges of the body, and are secured thereto by suitable securing means, such as glue, paste -or by any other practical means, the

loweredges of the anti-slipping devices termmatin-g at a point f adjacent the lower curved edge ofthe body melnberl, thereby adding to the anti-slipping surface of thev device.V l From the foregoing it will be seen that a waist, of comparatively light material, such as georgette crap'e, will be eiciently supported on the hanger, and prevented from Patented Noma, wie.

from the respective ends of the sliding over the curved surfaces thereof, due

to theribbed constructions of the anti-slipping devices, or by using any kind of aplain p ile fa'bric or felt.

' Having thus described the invention, what is4 claimed is L In a garment hanger, a curvedbody portion, ribbed cloth material, secured to the body portion adjacent the ends thereof, :the ribs of the ribbed material extending transversely .around the body portion .of the hanger, and a hook member secured intermediate the body portion. l

In testimony that I claim my own, I have-hereto aiixed my signature of two'witnesses. JAMES A. BUTRICK. Witnesses:
